AMP CRASH
PLAY THE ROOM
An amp, a speaker, and a microphone inside a pedal.
Amp Crash packs the sound and feel of a cranked amp into a compact stompbox. With a built-in 3-watt amplifier, internal 2" speaker, and microphone, it captures the interaction of a real speaker moving air, then lets you blend the direct amp signal with the mic'd sound for everything from rich overdrive to crushing fuzz, blooming harmonics, natural feedback, and completely unpredictable textures.
The sound isn't being simulated. It's happening.
Unlike traditional distortion or amp simulation pedals, Amp Crash creates sound physically, not just electronically. A real amplifier drives a real speaker. A real microphone captures what that speaker is actually doing. As those elements interact, they generate harmonics, feedback, compression, and textures that only exist because air is moving inside the pedal.
The result is an instrument that breathes, responds, and sometimes even fights back, just like your favorite cranked amp.
Perfect for recording, practicing, experimenting, or discovering sounds you simply can't get from a conventional pedalboard.
KEY FEATURES
● A collaboration between Death By Audio and Rainger FX
● Real 3-watt amplifier, internal 2” speaker, and microphone built into the pedal
● Blend direct amp and mic'd signals for authentic amp-in-the-room tones
● Built-in Reverb, Echo, and Chorus effects
● From edge-of-breakup overdrive to crushing fuzz, harmonic feedback, and controlled
chaos
● Great for recording, practice, experimentation, or adding a real amp to your pedalboard
● External 8Ω speaker output for connecting a speaker cabinet
● Lifetime warranty
THE STORYThis project began when David from Rainger FX came to New York with an idea: put a microphone inside a pedal so ambient room sound could blend with your guitar signal, creating new harmonics and unexpected overtones. After living with that idea for a while, we asked an obvious question: what if the pedal also contained its own speaker?
The moment we built the first prototype, everything changed.
The internal speaker and microphone interacted just like a real amp in a room. Suddenly we had the sound and feel of our favorite little combo amps pushed to their limits, delivering everything from touch-sensitive overdrive to absolute walls of fuzz, explosive harmonic feedback, and glorious controlled chaos. From there, we built a complete multi-effects engine around the concept, adding Reverb, Echo, and Chorus to push those sounds even further. Together, we created something completely versatile. It's a real mic'd amp experience, a compact recording tool, a portable practice amp, an experimental effects platform, and an endlessly inspiring instrument capable of sounds you simply can't get anywhere else.
CONTROLS
speaker on or off.
POWER [Footswitch] - Buffered bypass. Engages or bypasses the pedal and turns the internal
DI OUT - Controls the level of the direct amplifier signal sent to the OUTPUT.
MIC OUT - Controls the level of the internal microphone signal sent to the OUTPUT.
MIC GATE - Flip up to enable a noise gate for the internal microphone. Note: The gate is triggered by the instrument INPUT.
GAIN - Controls the gain of the internal amplifier. Turn it to OVERLOAD for gnarly distortion and wild oscillation.
TONE - Shapes the amplifier EQ from deep, bass-heavy sounds to bright, focused tones.
SFX SELECTOR - Selects between REVERB, ECHO, or CHORUS effects.
REVERB - Digital reverb ranging from a small room to a massive cave.
ECHO - Classic tape-style echo.
CHORUS - Rich three-dimensional modulation that spans from metallic flanging tolush chorus.
DEPTH - Turned fully down, the SFX are bypassed. Controls REVERB blend, ECHO blend and feedback, or CHORUS depth.
TIME - Controls either REVERB decay, ECHO delay time, or CHORUS speed.
INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
INPUT - Instrument input connection.
9V DC - The power connector for the pedal. (See POWER info below).
OUTPUT - Sends the combined DI OUT and MIC OUT signals when engaged. In bypass, the input signal passes through unchanged.
EXT. SPEAKER 8Ω MIN - Connect an external speaker cabinet (8Ω minimum, 3W or greater) using a speaker cable. Connecting an external speaker automatically disables the internal speaker.
Note: Plugging in a headphone adapter or a disconnected cable will also disable the internal
speaker while keeping the DI OUT and MIC OUT signals active.
SPECS
DIMENSIONS - 5.9" x 3.76" x 2.85" including hardware
WEIGHT - 19.1oz
INTERNAL AMPLIFIER - 3 watts
INTERNAL SPEAKER - 2”
POWER - The Amp Crash operates on a 9V DC power supply (2.1mm, center-negative) with 300 mA of current. We recommend Death By Audio’s RAW POWER power supply for optimal performance. Due to its high current draw, it may be necessary to operate the Amp Crash with a dedicated power supply.
Warranty & Returns
All New products are covered by the manufacturers new warranty. Please check their website for the length of warranty and warranty conditions. If an item you receive is faulty get in touch with us ASAP. Second Hand products come with a 4 week warranty from us. If there is an issue let us know ASAP! This covers normal use and does not cover accidental damage, misuse, wrong power plugged into it, modding, water damage or any other damage caused by mistreatment. Just treat it nice and all will be good!
Shipping
We send A LOT of packages every week so don't worry about the shipping side of things!
We've never lost a thing and your awesome new gear will be packed up really well to avoid any damage in transit.
If your order comes in before 2pm we will ship it same day. Most of the time we pack things up all the way to 4pm so just call if you need it to leave same day after 2pm.
We ship mainly with Australia Post but may use a courier depending on location and size of the package.
Free Post ships with Australia Post standard and expected shipping times are between 4-6 business days depending on location. It will be longer to outside of metro and rural areas.
Express Post will usually be with you next business day in metro areas of QLD, NSW, SA, VIC and TAS. WA will take 2 days to metro and extra days after that to out side metro and rural areas.
Everything we ship has a tracking number with the exception of some power cables and smaller envelope packages. You will be emailed tracking once your order has been shipped!
